Abstract

An electronic device includes a body, a camera module, a light source, and a lens. The body includes an upper surface defining a blind hole and a primary recess communicated with the blind hole. The camera module is embedded in the upper surface of the body near the blind hole. The light source is received in the blind hole with has a light emitting surface. The light emitting surface faces the entrance of the blind hole. The lens is movably received in the recess. The lens is capable of partly sliding out from the recess to cover the light emitting surface of the light source.
